From the Inside Flap
This Special Rare Breed Edition dedicated to the French Bulldog is the only book of its kind on this irresistible breed. Le Bouledogue Francais, as the French call this comic and affable little dog, excels as a companion dog, a role the Frenchie takes most seriously, as he aptly performs his daily clown-like routines. Few breeds lay claim to be as unabashedly affectionate and entertaining as the bat-eared French Bulldog. Whether a home companion or show dog, the French Bulldog approaches his role with flair and joie de vivre. Written by Muriel P Lee, a popular writer and editor of canine books and an owner of French Bulldogs, this book provides the necessary facts about acquiring a puppy, grooming, health care and showing. This book combines the expertise of breed specialists, veterinary surgeons, trainers and behaviourists with a team of experienced book designers, photographers and illustrators to create a resourceful and accurate guide for all French Bulldog owners. Illustrated with over 135 colour photographs, the book proves to be as attractive as it is informative. Innovations of modern science have enabled the publisher to present never-before-seen scanning electron micrograph images produced exclusively for this limited-edition series.

'Il est bizarre avec les oreilles de chauve-souris, robust et avec les oeils qui sourient. C'est quoi? C'est le Bouledogue Francais!' 'What's that funny dog with the big bat ears, the sturdy body and the smiling eyes? It's the French Bulldog!' He is not a common breed, but he is unique to dogdom with the most charming of dispositions and delightful of manners. If you are looking for an active dog that will gallop along at your side while you ride your bicycle, or one that will stay at home alone all day, this will not be the dog for you. But once you have a Frenchie and give your heart to him, you will remain a devotee of the breed for a lifetime.
